Sound of the Needle (Intro)

Should I just go?

Alright

I'll devour a MP3 like it's part of the food chain

And bounce the track out, then I call it the new WAV

Bringing it back, it's a vinyl revolution

Like I'm living in the past, I don't need a resolution

Knee deep in the crates, we're digging for gold

Sounds from bygone eras, we listen to soul

No clean cuts here, it's the real and the raw

Bro you don't know the culture if you think it's a flaw

Amplifying clicks, dust, the scratches and hisses

Lo-fi's deliberate, crunch is part of the mixes

Coming in hot wax, going out legendary

Shit's going round in circles like you're mowing a cemetery

It's that sound of the needle that drops

Snap, crackle, and pop, no it ain't gonna stop

I'm embracing the dirt, keeping artifacts in

Flip it up, put it down, record's starting to spin

It's that sound of the needle that drops

Snap, crackle, and pop, no it ain't gonna stop

I'm embracing the dirt, keeping artifacts in

Flip it up, put it down, record's starting to spin

I'm on my cereal, I'm serial killin' the tracks

I'm spittin' on chops, I'm guilty committing the act

The beat's snapping your neck like a crash test

I checked your flow, not feeling it like half reps

Your catalog against mine, boy your ship has sank

I blow 'em right out, they're missing the spank

Black and white aesthetics, I bring the doom and gloom

Put me in front of a crowd, I can move the room

In China, they call me a vet 'cause

I'm famous, I'm putting down dogs like Joey Chestnut

Selling out for the views, a non-starter

I'm not super into myself, I'm not a vlogger

Emcees doing day labor, don't ride with 'em

They're cutting corners like they mitered 'em

I'm getting all the accolades, don't try to disprove it

'Cause I'm the Macklemore in this game and you're like Ryan Lewis

It's that sound of the needle that drops

Snap, crackle, and pop, no it ain't gonna stop

I'm embracing the dirt, keeping artifacts in

Flip it up, put it down, record's starting to spin

It's that sound of the needle that drops

Snap, crackle, and pop, no it ain't gonna stop

I'm embracing the dirt, keeping artifacts in

Flip it up, put it down, record's starting to spin
